Billion Dollar Love

Chapter 12 • Meeting Cassie•

I squinted my eyes, "Does it look like I want to be killed by your former mistresses or something?".

He threw his head back laughing, "Are you serious? Nothing will happen to you, I promise. I just want you. They wouldn't even get close enough to get the opportunity to do anything".

"Hmm".

He grabbed both of my shoulders squeezing them gently, "We'll start slow but I'm still introducing you as my girlfriend", he smirked.

"Luke-", he silenced me by putting a finger to my lips.

"Whatever you say won't change my mind plus it is bound to happen anyways", he shrugged. I just swatted his hand away and rolled my eyes at him.

"Leave it to you to be conceited", I murmured.

"If I wasn't, I wouldn't be me", he stated.

I ignored his comment and walked over to my bed, "I'm going to sleep. Lock the door on your way out. Please and thank you", I slid under the covers.

"I'll leave when you fall asleep", he stripped out of his shirt and pants then slid under the covers as well. He pulled me towards him and I laid my head on his bare chest and sighed. This is nice. I fell asleep with Luke playing with my hair.

Light seeped through my curtains irritating the heck out of me. I groaned and covered my face with a stray pillow but froze has something heavy restricted my movements.

Last night's events replaced in my head and I turned to see Luke's peaceful face as he was in dreamland. His mouth was slightly opened and his snores were soft. Even with his hair all over his face he still looked as good as ever. So unfair.

"So much for leaving when I fall asleep", I murmured to myself. I slowly untangled myself from him and went to the bathroom. I did my morning routine and walked out of my bathroom. I went back in to my bedroom to see Luke still fast a sleep as I went to my drawer to choose an underwear set. I stepped into a pair of purple and black silk panties and pulled on the matching bra. Rewrapping the towel around myself I started to brush my damp hair. I decided to let it dry naturally since I'm feeling lazy. It's not like my hair would get frizzy and hard to comb when I leave it to dry. It actually dries in natural curls.

Today was Thursday which means I have a meeting with the construction crew and electricians that I hired. I'm pretty sure Luke doesn't plan on missing work today so I walked over to my bed to wake him up.

I jumped on the bed straddling him while an idea popped into my head. I trailed kisses down his neck painfully slow. He groaned in his sleep and started to stir. I kisses down to his chest and that's when his eyes opened.

I smiled at him, "Get up. You have a company to run", I started to get off of him.

He groaned and turned away from me hiding his head under a pillow. "Luke!", that earned me another groan.

"Don't you have work today? You'll be late", I pointed out.

"Ugh", he groaned for the umpteenth time and sat up, "I'll go. I know when I'm not wanted around".

I smiled at that, "Stop being such a baby. You have responsibilities".

"Yeah, yeah", he murmured.

Luke got out of my bed and went to the bathroom. I tidied up a bit then made my bed. Walking to my closet I chose a black fitted skirt that went just below my knees and a red blouse. It didn't take very long for me to get dressed and complete my make up. I figured Luke was taking a shower since he hasn't come out yet.
